So i dont often post, i'm more of a reader. But holy guacamole i had to say something about this build.
It is one of the best builds I've seen. to the extent that i check this thread as part of my "9:00 o clock get to work quick check of the news and other internet things" every day.
I havent built a PC for over 5 years now but i'm saving up some of that stuff people use to buy things and will be using this as inspiration.
I am intrigued to see how your cable management will go with this case! Are the case tubes hollow? perhaps they could be threaded through the tubing and have them come out at certain points...although that would mean drilling holes i guess and you would have to thread the cables and re-attach the connectors once threaded, which would be painful....
I guess if the cables look great like yours then they are part of the build anyway and you wouldn't need to hide them right!
Anyway cant wait to see it finished. Would also like to know how it goes with dust, id love this case but dont think i could be bothered to blast it with compressed air every other day...
oh and like everyone else says, great photography.
Thank you very much! That's just great to hear, really nice to know that you look forward to every post made..
The plan is that the cables will go through the reservoir/mainboard tray, into the back, where there will be channels drilled out to fit them perfect, and that way route them to the PSU.
That way they are neatly organized and visible as part of the build.
But let's see how it looks once i receive the custom tray.
Was actually brainstorming a lot about whether or not i should route some of the cables in the frame tubes it self, because they are hollow.
But as for now i think that i might only do it for the pwn button, should i decide that i wanted to go with a custom one, placed into the frame instead of the stock ones.
As for dust, i am not quite sure yet since it's not done. But i could imagine dust not being a problem since it's an open frame, but i am not sure.
Will let you know when it's done
